Everything I owed my mum, I had it written down.

Anyone in my position, you’d do that for your mom.
Of course you would, she added.
After starring in the Australian soap operaNeighbours, Robbie got a leading role in the TV seriesPan Am.
Looking back, Kessler reflected on Robbie’s determination during an interview withVoguein 2o19.
I really admired the way you set about deciding how your future was going to unfold, she said.

Anyone in my position, you’d do that for your mom.
Of course you would, she said.
